Consultants appointed for works on unfinished section of Blessington Inner Relief Road
The Wicklow PeopleConsultants have been appointed to progress plans for the Blessington Inner Relief Road through all phases of the scheme.
Wicklow County Council intends to introduce the purpose-built route which will connect existing sections of the Inner Relief Road between the Naas Road and the Blessington Industrial Estate junction, and between the N81 south of the town and the Kilmalum Road.
Two primary sections of the inner relief road have yet to be completed, and two preferred routes have now been selected, one to the south of Blessington and the other at the north end of the town.
The southern section lies between the roundabout on the R410 Naas Road and the roundabout on the L8364 Kilmalum Road.
The other proposed route heads northwards from the existing roundabout on the Blessington Inner Relief Road to the west of Woodleigh Estate and passes the quarry to emerge onto the N81 in the vicinity of the existing quarry entrance.
Elected members of the Baltinglass Municipal District were told by the district engineers during their June meeting that design options for the outstanding works at the southern end are currently being considered.
